Candyce Byrne
was raised by gypsies—no, not really. In a peripatetic military family.
That experience convinced her that old beliefs never die but rather bob
just below the surface of what we naïvely call reality. Her two
beautiful sons grew up on Childe ballads and local theatre. She lives in
a mythical Texas town with her husband of nearly 40 years, a
pediatrician, and an aging dire wolf called Al—well, really half border
collie/half Labrador retriever, but she's big and black and hairy and
the mail lady is terrified of her.
